Great Ramen Place!…read more Overall this place is beyond my expectations. Their broth is the shining star of their menu. Perfectly balanced umami and savory with rich aftertastes. With adjustable spicy level (they blend the hotness and soup base flavor really well) and wonderful Chashu (the thick one), their soup base is one of the best I ever had in US. The texture of noodles is similar to other ramen shops, nothing too special. Servers are very friendly and professional. The establishment is well organized and furnished. Portion wise a little small, feel a little pricy but worth the taste and service!

BOOZY HIBI-GIBI PUNCH Sake, sweet hibiscus tea & lemongrass…read more Who knew sake would match so well with hibiscus tea. It's ligh and refreshing, a great drink to start the meal. MI-SO-HOT Spicy pork bone broth with miso. I opted for the keto version and replaced the noodles with bean sprouts. This was my favorite dish! The broth was rich and flavorful, although it was a little too salty for my taste. CHILI OIL GYOZA jalapeño ,soy sauce, chili oil, shallots, negi, cilantro & spicy garlic furikake. They were so nice to give these to me for free! The gyoza was flavorful, but there were almost too many flavors going on, the soy sauce, chili oil and furikake somewhat overpowered the taste of the gyoza itself. Also a little salty for me. Overall, a great dining experience. It's a cute Japanese restaurant with lots of fun Japanese displays and a lively atmosphere. The staff were especially friendly and welcoming. I really enjoyed my meal and would definitely come back on my next trip to Austin

On the bright side, the food came out very quickly, and the restaurant had a spacious and comfortable atmosphere. Overall, I wouldn't say it was bad at all--it was just a little too salty for my preference.

The staff are super friendly and the line goes quickly! The restaurant is clean and set up for family shared tables. So we always meet nice people while dining. My partner gets the "new skool" and she adds Brussels sprouts. They also have a " guavarito" alcoholic drink which is super tasty. It's always a cool place to eat and kinda trendy. So if you're looking for a place to munch some ramen this is the place !!

I remember in 2016 when a ramen tatsu ya first opened in sugar land and was blown away. Now with…read morethe rise of Asian cuisine in general, I think they fall short a bit. Went for their anniversary and had a $2.50 frozen cocktail, the guavarito. Sooo delicious, couldn't taste any alcohol. Fruity and fresh The chili oil gyoza had a very surprising crunch even tho they were sitting in a chili oil sauce. Standard pork filling. The karaage was also okay, not very flavorful, but their dipping sauce is nice (spicy mayo and chili) I've had a lot of their ramens and I think they do well for a quick fix

Food: My partner and I shared some Brussels Sprouts, a Robot Ramen, and a Pork Chashu Fried Rice…read more The Brussels Sprouts were fine--the marinade was nice, but would have preferred the sprouts to be a bit crispier. The Robot Ramen was light, yet rich, the meat was succulent (and not too thin, at the risk of being dry) and the noodles were al dente--both were cooked nicely. Lastly, the Pork Chashu Fried Rice was a burst of umami flavor, from the shoyu glazed pork rib to the shiitake mushroom lying underneath. Solid dish--no notes! Service: No complaints! We had a reservation and were seated immediately upon walking in. Our waiter was attentive. Ambiance: Casual, modern. A vibrant experience, to say the least, from the flora draping from the ceiling, to the warm colors permeating throughout. Parking: Street parking available. Pay note of parking signs!

Joshua was one of the best servers I've ever had! He made the whole dinner so fun and enjoyable…read more Came for happy hour but ordered some main menu items too. Really enjoyed the Pom mule drink on happy hour. The cucumber refresher was a little too sweet for me. The spinach dumplings and barbacoa dumplings were both great! Loved the sauces that came with both. Chicken karaage was what you'd expect, would probably try something else next time just to try something new. The hira hira roll was really good! The way they presented the sauces made it slightly hard to dip your roll in it, but would still order again. My friends loved the transformer roll. Yuka-tekkan was a let down for me, just not very flavorful. Overall, would definitely come back for some rolls and the happy hour! There is better sushi on s congress but I still think this is a solid choice. Inside has really cool decor and would be a good place to bring someone to impress a date.

Apr 8, 2026 review:…read more I've been at Nori two times in person and recently tried their to-go order. We got one Austin roll ($22), volcano roll ($15), creamy spicy tan tan ramen ($20), teriyaki sesame tofu yakisoba ($20). I have had their sushi and yakisoba but tried their ramen for first time. I was impressed with their packaging. As you can see in picture, veggies and noodles box was on top and soup at bottom. The only thing I didn't like how noodles became very sticky because of how tight they were packed. So I got it as cold (because I live 30 mins away) and sticky. Ramen came with all the veggies like grilled Chinese broccoli, tofu, sweet corn, marinated shiitake mushrooms, red onions and negi. Yakisoba noodles had the Stir-fried noodles tossed with cabbage, scallion, carrot, marinated shiitake mushrooms, and fragrant negi in a savory house sauce. It was good if you like this type of noodles. Austin roll had Smoked tempeh, tempura tofu, jalapeño, pickles. And on the to Avocado, roasted garlic oil, tempura flakes, smoked paprika, teriyaki. Volcano roll was a deep fried roll which had spinach, avocado, sweet potato. On top: spicy mayo, sweet soy sauce, chili sauce, Caviart and tempura onion. I would say this is the best vegetarian sushi place I've found in Austin. So if you're in search, this wouldn't disappoint you.

I went to Nori for the first time on Friday for a friends birthday. I was honestly unsure about it…read moreat first because I have never been to a plant-based restaurant, but everything about this experience makes me want to come back. T he food was delicious I had the Spicy TanTan Ramen and the Spicy Edamame and it was so good! Our server was amazing and attentive. It did take quite a bit of time for the drinks to come out but totally understandable for a bar to be backed up. All the drinks that we did try were delicious and my favorite part was you got to chose on whether to make then N/A, Spiked, or Infused. We were on their outdoor patio and the vibes were good and quiet perfect for our large group to talk and hear each other. Can't wait to go again!

My husband and I got Kome for dinner on a friday around 6:50 pm without a reservation. We waited…read morefor a good 40 minutes before we got seated. We ordered their tuna poke appetizer, trio roll, austin FC roll, and the matcha maker drink. Matcha Maker was a whiskey drink, tasted pretty fruity and was actually delicious. The whiskey taste comes later. The tuna poke was good, it came with 5-6 chunks of raw tuna with some avocados, which sat on top of some seaweed salad, and had 5 pieces of tortilla chips to pair with. The trio roll and austin fc roll were both delicious. The trio roll had no flavor, as it had 3 different sashimis, but was perfect with soy sauce and wasabi. The austin fc roll came with eel sauce and their house sauce, it was good on it's own. We were starving by the time the food came, since it did take a while as it was crowded.....like every seat in the house was taken! Dinner is izakaya style which is basically tapas or smaller/shareable plates vs entree style dishes. Lunch menu has more options, including bento boxes which we'll have to try next time! Our server was attentive and nice. Overall, definitely recommend. It is more on the pricier side, but it is worth it. Only thing I would do different is bringing a jacket. We came when there was that odd storm and it was freezing inside the restaurant.

Komé is good but could be great. The huge menu is a catch all of everything you could expect from…read moreJapanese cuisine. It's almost so much that there are too many options. Thankfully, most a very good choices! The fries are great. It's weird to start with that but they really are. Same goes for pretty much any sushi. You'll be able to taste the freshness of the fish. However, avoid the curry and katsu. My katsu can only be described as overdone. The breading tasted nearly burnt dry and banding in the meat (see my photo) shows how it was separating from being cooked too long. The curry is as disappointing as their sister restaurant. It's weak enough that I'd venture I could produce a better curry in bulk. Their menu also changes between lunch and dinner so it's possible other non sushi options are better. So do come here and enjoy the sushi, but don't venture into the other menu items. They'd really shine by focusing on a core menu with less accompanying dishes.

I specifically requested my most favorite server, Yoshi as our waiter, but sadly they couldn't make that happen because he was working the outside dining area. He still managed to swing by and check on us a few times, and that was enough to make the night better. Yoshi is just THAT guy. He makes dining here ridiculously fun and somehow makes an already great experience even better. The music and drinks were on point. The Puff Puff Pass was the cocktail winner of the night, followed by some really good whiskey. Then came the food, and damn... Kemuri does not mess around. We shared everything and ordered in waves, starting with Bluefin Tuna Carpaccio, Charred Edamame and Taiyaki Cornbread. Next up was the Chili Cheese Takoyaki, Wagyu Short Rib Skewer and Hot Pocketz. Every single thing was delicious, and flavorful. Somehow we still found room for the delicious banana pudding. Great food, great drinks, great friends and Yoshi popping in to keep the party going. Pretty hard to beat a night like that. Kemuri Tatsu Ya continues to be our favorite!
